Brandon Flowers: ‘Picking up kids wrecked my shoulder’

Brandon Flowers blames his agonizing shoulder injury on his obsession with picking up his kids for a cuddle.

The Killers front man underwent surgery last year for a curved acromion bone in his arm which was causing a painful pinched nerve in his left shoulder.

He has since discovered the injury was exacerbated by his habit of frequently reaching down to scoop up his sons Ammon, 5, Gunnar, 3, and 2-year-old Henry.

Flowers tells Q magazine, “Last year. … I had shoulder surgery. I have a curved acromion bone. I’d been picking up my kids a lot and it started to grind on my nerve so they had to saw off the curve to straighten it out.”
